Giovanni Pernice revealed he was open to having children amid confirmation of his blossoming romance with fellow dancer Jowita Pryzstal.
The 32-year-old Strictly Come Dancing star has appeared on the series since 2015 and has shared news of his latest romantic entanglement with Jowita, 28, who also dances on the show following her debut in 2021.
Admitting a family could be on the cards for the renowned lothario, Giovanni has recently said he could imagine himself a father but is waiting for the right person to enter his life.
Giovanni explained his mother was continuously asking the professional dancer when she could expect to hear news of grandchildren.
He spilled his thoughts on the subject during a chat with Anton Du Becke, 51 for an episode of Anton and Giovanni’s Adventures In Sicily – which airs next month.
The pair sat around a campfire and reflected on the more serious milestones in life.

‘My mum asks me questions constantly, “Giovanni what is the situation?”’, Giovanni told Anton.
He continued: ‘Because every time I date a girl I always tell her and say ‘What do you think about this? What do you think about her?”
‘She always asks, “Is she The One. You know I want a baby before I pass away?”. Of course, I want a family one day. You just have to find the right person first.’
The famous pro insisted he was interested in meeting his match but was focused on his career first: ‘There is a fine line about wanting to be in a relationship and be with somebody because you get lonely.’

His comments followed a string of high-profile flings and star-studded romantic entanglements with the likes of Maura Higgins, Jess Wright, Ashley Roberts and Georgia May Foote.
Earlier this month the pair of Strictly dancers finally confirmed they were a couple, putting on a cosy display of public affection and gripping each other’s hands.
The smooth Italian and his leading lady were loved up on their way home after enjoying a London restaurant together.
Giovanni kept it semi-causal in a dark coat, light chinos and a grey hooded top while out on the town.
According to reports, the gentleman waited for his date to arrive outside the restaurant before whisking her through the doors, where they spent over two hours eating and chatting.
Rumours of the potential relationship swirled after Jowita was seen locking lips with Giovanni backstage during filming for the popular BBC talent show.
Metro.co.uk contacted Giovanni and Jowita’s reps for comment.
